Default NEAS Time Series

Has anyone done anything yet? One week has gone by and I've not done squat. I might start some this week, but otherwise I'm proceeding with caution until they get approved...which I think will happen, but we just don't know when.

I'm in the same boat, but it's only been because we've had too much billable work this week.

I did get the textbook, though. Yahoo!

I did the first two modules, which were cake... like one problem in each section. It should start getting harder though.

Have not started yet either. I should get the textbook later this week. I will probably start after Thanksgiving.

I am starting...today. Since I already took regression analysis from NEAS, the first two modules are the same, so I am not too behind.

With the Actex class officially filling up, people will need the NEAS class. The SOA VEE committee needs to approve this asap IMO.

Doesn't look like they will make the decision any time soon...

I received the following email response from the SOA (asking, almost pleading, for an expedited decision on the NEAS classes):

"The VEE Committee is dedicated to making sure the courses are up to the standards established for VEE before any approval can be granted. However, that may require going back and forth with NEAS a few times before a decision can be made. Please be assured that we are moving on the issue, but need to be very careful of the outcome. Therefore, I cannot estimate the length of time it will require to complete the review process, nor can I predict the result at this time."

Any questions?

No question...except what are you gonna do...in terms of me, I'll just have to sit here and wait.
